Old singer sewing machine

Jody from Burnside

I have a very old (vintage) singer sewing machine to give away. Unfortunately it's fairly rusted so it would need a bit of work to refurbish but it could be used for parts. It has a number of presser feet with it. Come and pick it up from Charlcott St, near wairakei Rd.

NZ Mandarins: $2.99kg
Apples: $2.99kg

Arrived fresh in this morning, Corriander, Asparagus and New Zealand Strawberries.
We still have New Season Ilam Hardy potatoes in store.

With the school holidays just around the corner we will be running another kids colouring competition. 5 winners will be picked. Keep an eye out for new pictures to get at the store or ask one of our friendly staff.

Here is some tips about Asparagus you might find useful.

If this news motivates you to rush out and buy some asparagus, here are some tips to make your experience even better:
1. Choose firm, crisp spears that don’t look dry or droopy. Fresh asparagus is squeaky when the stalks rub together.
2. Thin stems tend to be more tender but thick spears have a longer shelf life.
3. You can store asparagus in a jar with a little water (2cm) at the bottom, a bit like flowers. Or wrap them in a plastic bag and store in the fridge.
4. Asparagus can be eaten raw, fried, chargrilled, steamed, microwaved or baked.
5. Apart from baking, most cooking methods for asparagus will take just a few minutes.
